Subject: Compile problem on Linux
Date: Fri, 10 Mar 2000 10:27:33 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <38C8CE15.1FF2D76F@u.genie.co.uk> (raw)
When compiling zsh on my PC (which runs SuSE Linux 6.1). I got errors
relating to RLIM_NLIMITS being undefined. I traced the cause of this
down to autoconf erroneously reporting sys/resource.h to not exist
(while correctly finding getrlimit).
Checking config.log, I found:
configure:2496: gcc -E conftest.c >/dev/null 2>conftest.out
In file included from /usr/include/sys/resource.h:27,
from configure:2492:
/usr/include/resourcebits.h:103: warning: `RLIM_INFINITY' redefined
/usr/include/asm/resource.h:25: warning: this is the location of the previous definition
configure: failed program was:
#line 2491 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"
#include <sys/resource.h>
confdefs.h was apparently empty and indeed the following gave the same
warnings:
echo "#include <sys/resource.h>" > t.c
gcc -E t.c >/dev/null
Is this a problem with autoconf not effectively determining if
conftest.out indicates an error, are the include files on my system
broken or should zsh's configure.in be putting some sort of work-around
in confdefs.h?
Looking at the include files, resourcebits.h has the definition:
/* Kinds of resource limit. */
enum __rlimit_resource
{
.
.
.
/* Value to indicate that there is no limit. */
RLIM_INFINITY = (long int)(~0UL >> 1)
#define RLIM_INFINITY RLIM_INFINITY
};
And in asm/resource.h:
/*
* SuS says limits have to be unsigned.
* Which makes a ton more sense anyway.
*/
#define RLIM_INFINITY (~0UL)
Any ideas? Should I be sending this to the autoconf maintainers? The
problem could have been around a while - I recently cleared out my
autoconf cache to solve another problem (see msg 9602 (thanks Sven
that was the problem)). My old configure cache reported
sys/resource.h's presence but I may have manually edited it -
regenerating the configure script with an old autoconf was no help.
